More From Jonathan Edwards

The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.

My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. do you suppose i care? a poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking to suit other people! my manner of thinking stems straight from my considered reflections; it holds with my existence, with the way i am made. it is not in my power to alter it; and were it, i'd not do so.

Islam makes very large claims for itself. in its art, there is a prejudice against representing the human form at all. the prohibition on picturing the prophet - who was only another male mammal - is apparently absolute. so is the prohibition on pork or alcohol or, in some muslim societies, music or dancing. very well then, let a good muslim abstain rigorously from all these. but if he claims the right to make me abstain as well, he offers the clearest possible warning and proof of an aggressive intent.

Part of treatment for drugs and alcohol is you abstain from these, but with eating disorders you can't abstain from food so the treatment is longer than drugs and alcohol.

Either christianity is true or it's false. if you bet that it's true, and you believe in god and submit to him, then if it is true, you've gained god, heaven, and everything else. if it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. if you bet that christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. but if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.

The art of living is based on rhythm - on give & take, ebb & flow, light & dark, life & death. by acceptance of all aspects of life, good & bad, right & wrong, yours & mine, the static, defensive life, which is what most people are cursed with, is converted into a dance, 'the dance of life,' metamorphosis.

Jesus reminds us that the good life combines the toughness of the serpent and the tenderness of the dove. to have serpent-like qualities devoid of dovelike qualities is to be passionless, mean, and selfish. to have dovelike without serpent-like qualities is to be sentimental, anemic and aimless. we must combine strongly marked antitheses.
